Hi Ben,

That's the way they work. When an AFTD fills up, you have to make more space available because NetWorker doesn't know how to make the backup span disk devices. So, you'd see this as a design flaw. I see it as you failed to read the manual -- that's the way it was designed and that's the way it was documented to work.

Hi everyone and Happy new year,



I've a frustrating problem with backup to Adv-file devices, I've 5
Adv-file device volumes with approximately 6TB in each. Every night the
backup groups will start and make backup to these volumes, but when a
volumes is full, the backup group will not switch to the next free
volume, it just hang there until I manually free some spaces. It there a
way to configure Adv-file devices to overcome this problem or is it a
Networker design flaw.
